The editio princeps of JISR EL HADID 4 (Dinçol, Dinçol, Hawkins & Peker 2014a:63) records the attestation in §6 as 〈POST+RA/I-ta〉, but considering the other spellings attested in the corpus, there is no reason to assume that 〈+ra/i〉 should be taken as a phonetic indicator instead of a syllabic sign.

1.1.3.1Phonological Interpretation
The phonological interpretation was accomplished by Meriggi 1966b:70 when linking the fully syllabic rendition from SULTANHAN, §34 to the other partly logographic spellings. This finds further support in the cognate CLuw. āpparant(i)- ‘future (adj.)’, see already Meriggi 1966b:70.
[AH.B.]
1.1.4Meaning
The meaning was first suggested by Meriggi 1966b:70, who compared it to CLuw. āpparant(i)- ‘future’. CEKKE, §5 serves as a good example: POST+ra/i-tá-pa-wa/i BOS(ANIMA) OVIS(ANIMA) LIBARE-sa5+ra/i-la-ti, approx. /apparanta=ba=wa wawin hawin sasarlanti/, meaning ‘(For this Storm-god Tarhunza of Heaven they shall burn up a calf.) And afterwards, they shall offer an ox and a sheep’ (Hawkins 2000a:145).

1.1.5Stem
In HLuw., the word is indeclinable, but has likely been lexicalised out of an adjective paradigm with the nom./acc. pl. n. form assuming an adverbial function. The adjective /apparant(i)-/ ‘future’ is otherwise unattested in HLuw., but can be found in CLuw., a participle built with /-nt-/ and no longer productive in HLuw. (Oettinger 2001a:86 n. 12). Regarding the derivational basis of the adjective, several scholars have put forward suggestions.Outdated is Laroche (DLL:29), who envisioned a compound of /appa/ ‘back’ and /arant-/ ‘arriving’ for the CLuw. adjective. Laroche 1979b:348f. changed this interpretation to a suffixation with -anti-. Melchert (CLL:22) considers two possibilities likely, either a compound of /appa/ ‘back’ and /ar(i)-/ ‘time’, or the adjective /appara/i-/ ‘lesser’ consisting of /appa/ and the suffix /-ra/i-/, which is attested in HLuw. That last-mentioned hypothesis was, in fact, already tentatively put forward by Meriggi 1966b:70 and is followed here.
